Melancholic times in cricket



Adam Gilchrist's KXIP crashes out after Shikhar Dhawan decided
to peak at the wrong time :-). Ironically, it was Deccan Chargers,
the team he led to 2 consecutive IPL semis and one IPL crown, who
defeated him. It was very disheartening. I really wanted KXIP to
make the play offs after the remarkable resurgence they staged
with Paul Valthaty's audacious brilliance and Gilchrist's
inspirational captaincy.


This comes after Shane Warne's last game in IPL. So effectively,
in a matter of few days, IPL suffered 2 major setbacks. Warne and
Gilchrist, for me, were two of the most important ambassadors of
cricket and especially IPL. I hope Gilchrist doesn't follow Warne
and keeps playing. Else, IPL will lose its sheen for me and countless
others.

Love you Warnie !
